I take it that cooling the trans take care of everything else including engine oil. Any data?
Pictures would be much appreciated!

The car is loaded into the trailer for a trip to the track this weekend. When I get back I will get it on the lift and take some pics. I use some of the same components in the Patrick kit and I added a small fan to pull the cold air coming in from the right side engine compartment vent through the cooler. Fan is switched to come on with the pump through a separate relay. Trans oil temps with back to back drivers (wifey drives it as well) get up to 260 degrees. Just had a full rebuild on the box partially due to hot temps (and 5 years of track abuse)
